Benefits


The North Carolina Health Care Facilities Association (NCHCFA) is committed to promoting quality health care to the residents served by our member facilities, while pioneering growth, development and innovation in skilled nursing benefits in North Carolina. We provide an array of services to our members, including a weekly newsletter (UPDATE), guidance with state and federal rules and regulatory issues, data gathering and analysis, relevant legislative affairs, Medicare and Medicaid policy, continuing education opportunities, and a communications network devoted to the most current developments in long term care. As a professional trade association, NCHCFA and its partners also work closely with state and federal agencies governing skilled nursing facility operations.

NCHCFA is also a member of the American Health Care Association (AHCA), the nation’s largest organization representing long term care providers. Our staff and member volunteers participate in various AHCA activities and serve on many of its policy making and governance committees.

NCHCFA and AHCA share a common goal of presenting a unified voice before state and federal agencies, the North Carolina General Assembly, and Congress. We foster member involvement through working committees composed of experienced long term care providers. All members are invited to join one of our standing committees and take part in determining the direction and goals for the Association.
